USE CASE:
Deliverability for ecommerce brands, start to finish
This page is about deliverability for ecommerce brands: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. The tools we name are Mamba Labs Apify actors, priced per row, and Domain Deliverability Checker is the one pointed at ecommerce brands.
The problem
Ecommerce brands and deliverability: the shortcuts stop working, for one specific reason. Start from this: ecommerce brands live and die on platform choice, and the platform is visible in the page source, and deliverability follows. Worth knowing about ecommerce brands, since deliverability inherits it: a headless build hides the platform completely, and headless correlates with the biggest merchants. There is 1 runnable example of deliverability for ecommerce brands below.
Why anyone bothers
The mailbox provider will never tell you why ecommerce brands stopped opening, which is what makes this worth instrumenting rather than debugging.
Doing it end to end
- Start with one of ecommerce brands you already know, so a wrong deliverability answer is obvious rather than plausible.
- Run Domain Deliverability Checker across your list of ecommerce brands, which carries 1 ready made setup for deliverability.
- Read ten rows of deliverability on ecommerce brands by hand before you trust the rest of the list.
Traditional Search Tools
- Wappalyzer, for ecommerce brands. Free as an extension, cheap as an API, and it will still miss the headless ones.
- MXToolbox. The tool most people already use, and it is genuinely good for one domain at a time. It is a web form, so checking 40 sending domains means 40 visits.
- Google Postmaster Tools. The only place you see what Gmail thinks of your reputation, and it is free. It covers Gmail, it needs domain verification, and it says nothing about the other half of your list.
- Your sequencer's own health check. Instantly and Smartlead both ship one. They check the domains you send from, which is the point, and they will not check a domain you have not connected yet.
- Read the DNS yourself. dig the SPF, DKIM and DMARC records for the sending domain, then check it against the public blocklists one at a time. Fifteen minutes per domain if you know what you are looking at.
